x86: Unplug emulated disks and nics.
Add a xen_emul_unplug command line option to the kernel to unplug
xen emulated disks and nics.
Set the default value of xen_emul_unplug depending on whether or
not the Xen PV frontends and the Xen platform PCI driver have
been compiled for this kernel (modules or built-in are both OK).
The user can specify xen_emul_unplug=ignore to enable PV drivers on HVM
even if the host platform doesn't support unplug.
